This document discusses Microsoft's view of the Internet of Things (IoT) and their Windows Developer Program for IoT. It provides an overview of what IoT is, different device types, and Microsoft's taxonomy of IoT devices. It also describes the Windows Developer Program for IoT which allows developers to leverage the Windows platform and tools to develop connected IoT devices using boards like Intel Galileo. The document concludes with a demo of developing an IoT device using Intel Galileo and Azure Mobile Services, and an announcement of AllJoin support on Windows 10 to enable interoperability across different platforms.

1. Windows Developer Program for
IoT
Mirco Vanini
Microsoft® MVP Windows Embedded
We're bringing Windows to a new class of small devices.
What will you make?

3. What is the Internet of Things?
The network of physical
objects that contain
embedded technology to
communicate and interact
with their internal states or
the external environment.
Source: Gartner
The term was created by Kevin Ashton in 1999
to describe a technology for the unique
identification of objects within a "network“.

4. What is the Internet of Things?
IoT is not just about collecting data, it’s about
how you can use these data to gain value
“An Embedded Device connected to the Internet
is NOT an Internet Of Things Device !!!”
An “IoT Device” does not exists
You have IoT when you have Things (Devices) and Internet
A Solution that Integrates Devices and Internet-Based Services is an
IoT Product

5. IoT is at an inflection point
Components
and devices are
inexpensive
Connectivity is
pervasive
Development is
easy
Economic
benefits are
enormous
New scenarios
fuel demand

6. Microsoft’s view
The Internet of Things
starts with your things.
You have THINGS You have DATA

9. Windows Developer Program for IoT
www.windowsondevices.com
This is the first in a series of Internet of
Things (IoT) programs for the creation
of connected devices. This program is
tailor-made for both makers and
Windows developers entering into the
IoT space.
Leverage the Windows platform
and its diverse hardware
ecosystem. Utilize familiar Win32
programming using best in-class
development and debugging
tools.
The accessibility of Arduino
combined with the connectivity of
Windows. Quickly iterate and expand
on hardware and software designs
using existing shields and sketches
Designed for developers
Windows platform with Visual
Studio Rapid hardware development

10. Microsoft & Makers: Intel Galileo
Microcontroller Intel® Quark™ SoC X1000 with
16 KB CACHE and 512 KB
SRAM, 400 MHz
RAM 256 MB
Connectors 20 GPIO, 6 PWM, 2 UART, I2C,
SPI, Mini-PCI Express, RJ45
Ethernet, USB host and client
Storage Micro SD slot (up to 32GB)
